Which do you use and recommend?

I use Abduction! (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3408) to save web pages (or parts) as images. Very handy :thumbs up.

AdBlockPlus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865)

I also have WOT (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456), which I'm not really enthusiastic about as politically incorrect sites get a poor reputation courtesy of our leftists "friends" (ie Skadi is flagged as "racist" :rolleyes:).


WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory.FoxyProxy (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464)

FoxClocks (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1117)

I have used some interlingual dictionaries and an "English-English" dictionary as add-ons to the search toolbar. I never looked into any others, but I did download "Abduction" now (never heard of it before).

Oh- and someone once showed me how to block certain images with an add-on, which was nice.

I've just installed Xmarks (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410) (formerly FoxMarks).


Xmarks is the #1 bookmarking add-on. Install it on all your computers to keep your bookmarks and (optionally) passwords backed up and synchronized. Xmarks also helps you uncover the best of the web based on what millions of people are bookmarking.

Also available for Safari and IE, sadly not for Opera and Chrome :(.

Personas for Firefox (http://www.getpersonas.com/)

Colorful tabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/1368)

Now that I tried it out, I *really* recommend Xmarks (https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/2410) to synchronize your bookmarks on more than out computer, or just even if you want to be able to access your bookmarks from any computer.

I use Screengrab which I guess is a lot like Abduction, it lets you save whole pages or parts of pages as images.

For anyone that has Facebook but hates the new pop up picture viewer thing they have.

Facebook photo theater killer script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/96773). Download and install either Greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo) (Chrome) first.
